Excerpt from Three Aspects of the Late Alfred, Lord Tennyson At the request of Members of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, I am publishing the three "Studies of Tennyson" which were read as Papers for discussion at its Meetings in 1897 and 1898. Abstracts only of these Papers having been printed in the Annual "Transactions, " these "Studies" now appear for the first time in full, revised, considerably enlarged, and issued under the new and more definite title of this book. Without putting this unpretending little volume into competition with the fuller and more critical treatises by Stopford Brooke, Van Dyke, Dawson, Stedman, and others, who deal exhaustively with the vast life-work of Tennyson, I do claim as original my classification of both the poetry and character of the great Laureate, and, by a concise comprehensiveness, have justified, I think, this small addition (principally intended for the busy man, the junior student, and the senior classes of private schools) to the ever-growing library of Tennysonian literature. From the late lamented Sir Walter Besant - truly called the Author's Friend - I received much wise counsel as to modes of publication, and have followed his advice by starting a subscription list, which has been successful.
